Part 15 - Pesticide refiller residue removal requirements

15.1. Records. Refillers must maintain, at the refilling establishment, the registrant's written refilling residue removal procedure for each pesticide product distributed in refillable containers. These records must be maintained for the current operating year and for 3 years after that.

15.2. Refillers must clean each refillable container by conducting the pesticide product's refilling residue removal procedure before repackaging the pesticide product into the refillable container, unless the conditions in paragraph (a) of this Section and either paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section are satisfied:

(a) If required, each tamper-evident device and one-way valve is intact.

(b) The refillable container is being refilled with the same pesticide product.

(c) Both of the following conditions are satisfied.

(1) The container previously held a pesticide product with a single active ingredient and is being used to repackage a pesticide product with the same single active ingredient.

(2) There is no change that would cause the composition of the product being repackaged to differ from the composition described in its confidential statement of formula that is required under FIFRA section 3 (incorporated by reference herein, later amendments not included). Examples of unallowable changes include the active ingredient concentration increasing or decreasing beyond the limits established by the confidential statement of formula or a reaction or interaction between the pesticide product being repackaged and the residue remaining in the container.

15.3 Refillers must clean a refillable container that has a broken (non-intact) tamper-evident device or one-way valve as required in part 15.2 of this Section. Refillers must clean each refillable container that has a tamper-evident device or one-way valve that is not intact by conducting the pesticide product's refilling residue removal procedure before repackaging the pesticide product into the refillable container.

15.4 This part 15 shall become effective August 16, 2011.
